WASHSTAND.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 12,029, dated December 5, 1854.

-peculiarly convenient for household puroses.

p To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l, is a side elevation of my improvement. Fig. 2, is a side sectional elevation of the same. Fig. 3, is a view of the upper part, or water bucket, detached.

Similar letters of reference indicate the same parts.

A, bucket for containing the dirty water; A', bottom plate of same; A2, flange o-f same; B, clean water holder; B, bottom support of same; B2, socket on pedestal E,

i for receiving B; C, wash basin rim; D,

flange on same; E, pedestal; F, faucet; G, wash stand cover; H, wash basin.

In the combination of my improved wash stand, the water bucket A, is intended to form one of the principal upper parts of the same, its flange A2, itting into the top of the Water holder B, as shown. The water bucket A, it will be observed, is furnished with a handle, and when detached, as seen in Fig. 3, forms a convenient utensil. The water holder B, is furnished with a faucet F, and rests upon the pedestal E, by means of the support B, which fits socket B2, the latter being attached .to the pedestal. The upper part of the stand may be moved around at pleasure in the socket. The upper' part of the Water bucket A, is furnished witha wide flaring rim, having a flange D. rlhe basin H, is located in the center of the rim. Around the edges of the upper part of the ange D, holes are arranged, a, a, a, through which the water spattered out of the basin H, finds its Way into the water bucket A.

Vhen the wash stand is not in use, the

cover G, is placed on top of the stand, when the whole forms a neat and convenient table. The dirty water is intended to be poured into the bucket A. Clean water may always be had by turning the faucet F.

Wash stands constructed according to my combination, are cheap in construction, ornamental in appearance, and highly convenient in use.

I make no claim to any of the parts composing my wash stand, separately, but

What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A wash stand made in sections and having its parts constructed so as to form a'clean water reservoir, a waste water reservoir toreceive the waste water from the basin, rim,
